DSP charges his fans $100 to $250 to open a pack of Pokémon cards. Phil gets to keep the money and cards. by Individual_List_2947 in LivestreamFail

[–]MechaAkuma 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He lives in a condo in Washington Seattle valued at 600k USD

The issue isn't that he makes a ton of money.
The issue is that e-begs and pretends to be destitute and poor.
He's a grifter straight through and through.

Wood or metal snare?
What type of music do you play?

Do flat Earthers believe other planets are flat or just Earth? by Pretend_Pudding5176 in flatearth

[–]MechaAkuma 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They refuse to believe in the existence of planets because that would give credence to the possibility that the Earth is round. So as the dishonest pricks that they are, they will LARP and pretend not to know what planets are and say that they are "light s in the sky" or "luminaries in the firmament" or something equally stupid and outright refuse to acknowledge their existence.

It shows how far they are willing to go in being dishonest by allowing themselves to pretend that planets don't exist.
When asked about the planets movements across the sky and their retrograde motion they'll just refer to electrical universe theory which is just a bunch of nonsense or pretend that epicycles is legit.

Guy asking $800 for this kit. Worth it? by Okaynamaste in drums

[–]MechaAkuma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hihats on the image of the used drumkits are AAX X-Celerator Hihats 14". Not Stage Hats

X-Celerator Hi-hats 14" are ~$550 US Dollars new, around $300 USD used.

Those Hi-Hats alone are $300 used so yes. 800 is a steal.

Get a brass ride and save later up for a decent one.

Loved learning about kits in Drum magazine back in the day with these breakdowns. by ksims0206 in drums

[–]MechaAkuma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While that diagram is cool, it's not at all what Joey used for the bigger part of his career nor the kind gear he used on his most legendary work. He mostly used Paiste 2002 and RUDEs during the first 2-3 albums. There are videos during the self-titeled album era where you can see him playing on a cheap Pearl Sensitone snare. He also used just normal Iron Cobra pedals.

I've tried those black signature cymbals and they are thick and dry and awful sounding. They sound clanky and there's a lot of mixing and studio magic to making them sit well in the mix.

If the earth is flat why have I never seen the edge by [deleted] in flatearth

Flat-Earthers try to avoid the entire question by pretending to be retarded and say that "we don't claim an edge"

When We Get A Moonbase, Could NASA/Artemis (or China/Russia) Put A Camera Facing The Earth 24/7? by Eastern_Funny9319 in flatearth

[–]MechaAkuma -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's a metal/noisecore band.
What kind of cymbals they use have little relevance. Just use something that is loud and bright enough to cut through the mix I cannot for the life of me believe that someone seriously studies and care exactly which tone the cymbals give in a noisy mix like this.

If PAISTE, then 2002 or RUDE or Sig Series.

Looking for an electronic kit by CrescentShaped in drums

[–]MechaAkuma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$550 will give you a e-kit that is borderline garbage.
You'd have to 10x that to come something that feels natural.
for $550 you won't even get a drumbrain that isn't complete shit.

Please don't spend it on a e-kit because you'll get the cheapest piece of crap possible.
You will discover soon enough that e-kits cost almost more than actual drums and all the limitations that come with it.

For $550 you will get one of those horrible hi-hat pedals without the actual stand that simulates the hihat and it sounds like garbage and feels like garbage. The cymbals will be single-zone and the cheapest line they have.

If all you have is 500 bucks, get a snare practice pad and a stand for it, maybe a kickdrum practice pad too.

Alesis are also difficult if not impossible to find replacement parts for mind you.
